Just over a year on and the big idea to bring this beautiful grade II listed building back to life, and enhance the features it holds in abundance, is really taking shape.
The Brewery and Beer Hall, at the heart of the whole complex, is a showcase for Bowland Beers.
The cafe, featuring a patisserie, bakery and the gelateria, serves a whole host of delicious Holmes Mill goodies.
There's the Food Hall, a celebration of fabulous produce from Bowland, from Lancashire and beyond. And now, with the addition of the Spinning Block Hotel and Bistro, Bar & Grill, there are even more reasons to visit.
